Permanent Committee on Ethics and Law

The Committee on Ethics and Law succeeds the Standing Committee on Health Ethics and Health Law, which was discharged in 2015. It issues solicited and unsolicited advisory reports on topics and developments in the field of health ethics and health law. In addition, and where necessary, it supports other Health Council committees when important ethical or legal problems arise. A number of Committee members represent the Health Council in the Centre for Ethics and Health (Centrum voor Ethiek en Gezondheid), a joint venture of the Health Council of the Netherlands and the Council for Health and Society.
